' Football Tactics: Are British Methods
Wrong?'
The week after next, England are to play Italy, the World's Cup Champion's, at the Arsenal Stadium, and in view of this, Mr. Ivan Sharpe proposes to compare British methods with those of other countries-of Italy in particular.
Mr. Sharpe is very well known as a newspaper correspondent on football, primarily attached to the Sunday Chronicle. Since the War. he has accompanied the English and Scottish International elevens, as special representative of Allied Newspapers, to Austria, Italy (twice), Switzerland (twice), Hungary, and Czecho-Slovakia.
As an amateur international he played for England twelve times between 1910 and 1914, taking part in all four matches in the Olympic Games tournament at Stockholm in 1912. In the same year he played in the English League with Derby Country when they were Second League champions and were promoted to the First League.
